Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 oz baking chocolate
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan – Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 13″x18″ half-sheet pan with parchment paper. This is essential to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate & Butter – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and baking chocolate in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring in between to avoid burning.
- Add Oil & Cocoa Powder – Stir in the vegetable oil and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Whisk Egg Whites – In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients – Add vanilla extract and sugar to the egg whites, whisking until combined. Then, pour in the chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients – Gently fold in the flour, salt, and baking soda with a spatula until just combined.
- Spread Batter – Evenly spread the batter as thin as possible onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the sheet is not visible underneath.
- Add Toppings – Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the batter.
- Bake – Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy. If you prefer extra crunch, bake a few minutes longer.
- Score & Cool – While still hot, lightly score the brittle with a knife to make it easier to break into pieces. Let it cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute with almond flour.
- For extra crunch, let the brittle cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
- This makes a great homemade gift—just pack it in decorative bags!
